Leah Krubitzer | MacArthur Fellow   Professor of Psychology | University of California, Davis"Combinatorial Creatures: Cortical Plasticity Within and Across Lifetimes" The neocortex is one of the most distinctive structures of the mammalian brain, yet also one of the most varied in terms of both size and organization. Multiple processes have contributed to this variability including evolutionary mechanisms (i.e., changes in gene sequence) that alter the size, organization and connections of the neocortex, and activity dependent mechanisms that can also modify these same features over shorter time scales. Because the neocortex does not develop or evolve in a vacuum, when considering how different cortical phenotypes emerge within a species and across species over time, it is also important to consider alterations to the body, to behavior, and the environment in which an individual develops. Thus, changes to the neocortex can arise via different mechanisms, and over multiple time scales. Brains can change across large, evolutionary time scales of thousands to millions of years; across shorter time scales such as generations; and across the life of an individual – day-by-day, within hours, minutes and even on a time scale of a second. The combination of genetic and activity dependent mechanisms that create a given cortical phenotype allows the mammalian neocortex to rapidly and flexibly adjust to different body and environmental contexts, and in humans permits culture to impact brain construction during development.

Is self-compassion a trait or a state of being? This edition is inspired by findings that suggest stronger self-compassion is associated with reduced impact of chronic pain. Self-compassion, in this sense, is the ability to respond to pain and difficulties with kindness and openness rather than criticism. In this episode we ask our artistic contributors, and ourselves, how to step towards achieving self-compassion and the importance of movement in looking after our bodies.  This edition of Airing Pain was made possible by the invaluable contributions of our participating artists who showcased their works at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and those in the academic field. We learn the motives behind using dance as a way of supporting those in pain, but also expressing and communicating pain to audiences. Contributors: Dr Sarah Hopfinger, Artist and Researcher (Edinburgh Fringe: “Pain and I”) Victoria Abbott-Fleming MBE, Founder of the Burning Nights CRPS Dr Emma Meehan, Associate Professor, Centre for Dance Research, Coventry University Tali Foxworthy Bowers, Choreographer and Movement Director (Edinburgh Fringe: “Monoslogue”) Jenna Gillett, PhD Student, Department of Psychology University of Warwick The music used at the beginning of this edition was an original composition for Pain & I by Alicia Jane Turner.

Dr. Sarah Frampton, an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska - Omaha joins me today as we discuss her work with Matrix Training. Dr. Frampton also refers to it as Matrix “Planning”, this is a generative approach to therapy that can help learners acquire new skills and improve their communication.Matrix Training involves arranging words in a matrix so that some multi-word phrases are taught directly, while others emerge through indirect teaching. This approach involves creating a table of related targets and components and then moving forward with training and probing. The key benefit of this approach is the ability to identify and prevent faulty stimulus control in tact training.Age is not a barrier to using Matrix Training because it is based on a solid foundation. This approach is best suited for learners who are acquiring single-component tacts and listening skills, with a provider who has found a teaching style and process that works best for them. Learners who will find Matrix Training most effective are typically at Level 2 of the VB-Mapp or around 18 to 30 months developmentally. The basics of Matrix Training are simply selecting targets, teaching targets, and then assessing targets. There are no restrictions on how to use and teach with Matrix Training, and it can be embedded into a naturalistic teaching context or any other context that works best for the student.Dr. Frampton emphasizes that Matrix Training is a systematic and science-based tool that can be incredibly effective for therapy planning. When done well, therapy sessions can even look and feel like play. #autism #speectherapy What's Inside:The benefit of Matrix Training and Planning.How to prevent faulty stimulus control in tact training.A systematic approach to selecting, teaching, and assessing targets.Science-based tool for therapy planning.Mentioned In This Episode:Sarah Frampton | Department of Psychology | University of Nebraska OmahaABA Speech: Learn About Current ASHA and ACE CEUs

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Christine Delozier to where we dove into many different things relating to men and women's sexual health, how to enhance but more importantly, how to improve the function of one's sex organs and balance one's hormones, not just for sexual health, but overall health.   This is a convo that is not discussed enough in our world and I thought, why not bring on an expert from a different angle to help us elevate our consciousness from a different perspective?   If you enjoy the episode, please take a moment to share a review and if you were inspired by this specific episode, do us a favor and share it with one person.   Lastly, subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss an update, new episodes, and amazing content!   Who is Christine Delozier? As an acupuncturist and herbalist in private practice, Christine DeLozier, L.Ac., specializes in sexual health, treating males, females, and all orientations and identities. Acupuncture is great for sexual function, but to address the underlying mechanics of consistently great sex, the key is diet. For this reason, she works with patients to develop dietary habits that support their sexual goals.   Education MS in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine MS (Counseling) Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development at the University of Rochester B.A. (Psychology) University of Rochester I specialize in sexual health, and believe in treating patients with the utmost care and respect,   EXPERIENCE As an acupuncturist and herbalist specializing in sexual health, I treat women and men looking to have better sex. Acupuncture is great in bringing blood flow to the sex organs and balancing hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. If we want to address the underlying mechanics of consistently great sex though, we need to think about diet. Great sex is more than finding someone who will touch your genitals. And desire is not simply a psychological phenomenon. The health of a person's vascular and nervous systems, as well as hormonal balance all greatly affect how they will experience sex. For women it will affect their ability to orgasm, and for men it will affect the strength of erection and ejaculation. For both it will affect libido, sexual pleasure and quality of orgasm. So, with patients, we address the meridians, as they are known in traditional Chinese medicine, and we also adopt a diet which nourishes great sex. Such a diet ensures that blood vessels are delivering good blood supply to the genitals, that nerves send messages of pleasure from the genitals to the brain, and that sex hormones are optimized for arousal and pleasure. For this reason, great sex involves treating ones body kindly with food.   How to Connect with Christine?

Dr. Lauren Whitehurst received her B.S. in Psychology and an M.A. in Experimental Psychology from James Madison University in 2011 and 2013, respectively and her PhD in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside in 2018. She completed a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Center for Health and Community and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco in 2020. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky. She is also Core Faculty in the Center for Health Equity Transformation and affiliated faculty in the Department of African American and Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Whitehurst's research focuses on answering questions about sleep and health, especially how the lack of access to restorative sleep is associated with disparities in cognitive health for communities historically underserved by science and medicine in the US. Dr. Whitehurst was a multi-sport athlete in high school and continued her basketball career throughout college. Today, I am excited to talk sports, injury, sleep, and health with Dr. Whitehurst.

Another incredible conversation with three of the Authors in the Sovereign Collaborative Book that is now available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BH13XBXM In this episode, each author shares a little bit of the story they wrote in the book, and what the term Sovereign truly means to them. Holly Schefold Rosanna Di Fiore Ashley Correia Bios Holly Schefold is the owner and founder of Nourish Cooking Co, an online membership that enables children (and their parents) to become independent and self-reliant in the kitchen through plant based cooking classes. Holly has always been a self driven, entrepreneur at heart. As an AMI trained Montessorian, Holly worked with children for over 20 years both in the classroom and in the kitchen before she pivoted to start her own business due to vaccine mandates. Nourish Cooking Co. was born. Holly is passionate about educating children on how empowering it is to make their own foods from scratch. Holly completed her Precision Nutrition certification and went on to earn her Plant Based Nutrition certification from the T.Colin Campbell Institute. She's appeared on a few local podcasts and in magazines. When not in the kitchen, Holly enjoys spending her time with her three children and husband at their cottage near Algonquin Park. Rosanna is a proud mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt & community volunteer. She considers herself a conservative woman living her life as a traditional wife, homemaker and provider in a traditional marriage. Cooking barefoot is only one of her superpowers. She happily serves her family and often loves to brag about being CEO of her home more than any other title given to her in her past corporate life. She believes there is no more important role in society than motherhood. Her three children, Lucas, Martina, and Julian, and husband, Mario, are the fuel to her fire in this world. Cut from a different cloth, Rosanna's grit, determination, integrity, and passion for what's right and true makes her refreshingly real in such a curated world. A fierce protector, Rosanna is courageous enough to be viewed as unpopular as she advocates for who and what is nearest and dearest to her heart. Rosanna gives back to her community generously with her time by bringing people together, helping the less fortunate, and stimulating the human spirit. The fortitude of her gut instinct has been her biggest blessing in life. It's helped her become fearless and unstoppable. It freed her from the existential fears and worries of the present time. Ashley is a Canadian mom, and wife navigating this ever-changing world and figuring out the best way to raise her two beautiful boys. Although fear almost took her life, with a lot of help, and even more personal work, she embarked on a journey to sovereignty. She left her overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionist self behind. Now she is a woman, with an abundance of belief, who is letting life unfold for her and her family upon the values of love, curiosity and communication! Ashley has been teaching primary aged children for 12 years in a large public board in Ontario. Most of her career was spent teaching Kindergarten, ages 4-6. This is where her heart lies and her light shines. Ashley also has a degree in Psychology (University of Western Ontario) and a Masters degree in Teaching (OISE, University of Toronto). Right now, Ashley is adventuring around Canada in her family trailer, making the best memories after a challenging few years, while also scoping out where to set roots for her family. You will find her bike riding, writing, doing yoga, floating in the ocean or lake, and going on daily adventures with her family. Follow Ashley on instagram @IamAshleyCorreia for her honest reflection on raising a family in this current Canada and to see where the next chapter leads her sovereign family in this weird and wonderful world.

Budget 2023 saw the expansion of the recent free contraception scheme to those aged 16-30. It means contraception will be permitted for those aged 16 despite the age of consent being 17. So is now the time for a conversation about lowering the age? Dr. Pádraig MacNeela Active Consent Programme Co-Lead at the School of the Psychology University of Galway spoke to Ciara this morning.

Odors and olfactory preferences provide helpful information in a variety of contexts, including social interactions, food intake and threat detection. Given the importance of the sense of smell, it is likely that odor perception is at least partially determined and affected by universal mechanisms and factors. In this podcast, Professor Sorokowska summarizes the cross-cultural research she conducted with her collaborators on a variety of odor perception-related issues. First, she presents the results showing that air pollution affects olfactory acuity. However, it is likely that there are also some modern evolutionary pressures that may significantly increase olfactory abilities of certain members of traditional societies. Second, she presents her team's large-scale analysis of social odor awareness among participants from 44 countries around the world. The researchers showed that people living in different cultures and different climate conditions may still share some patterns of social odor awareness, if they share individual-level characteristics. In the third group of studies, the researchers tested a hypothesis that despite the significant effects of a culture and learning on odor preferences, at least a part of the olfactory percept is innate. Indeed,they observed that odor pleasantness in three traditional societies did not deviate significantly from the ratings performed by participants from an industrialized culture, and that the similarities were especially striking for unpleasant odors. Another study confirmed this trend also among young children from 18 industrialized countries. Overall, the presented studies suggest that at least some aspects of our olfactory perception are affected by universal, innate mechanisms. Agnieszka Sorokowska is Associate Professor at the Institute of Psychology (University of Wroclaw) where she also is the Head of the Smell and Taste Research Lab. The lecture was held during EASP Summer School 2022 organized by SWPS University, Faculty of Psychology in Wroclaw, European Association of Social Psychology and Social Behavior Research Center. #olfactorypreferences #culturaldifference #EASP

In today's episode, we speak about restorative justice and how the Puppies for Parole program has not only taught compassion and self-confidence to the inmates but has also provided a safe place for dogs that would most likely not have survived their own traumas or be adopted.  Mr. Lombardi shares with us how Puppies for Parole has also changed the lives of families, staff and created a calmer prison culture.Meet George LombardiGeorge Lombardi has been working in the field of corrections since 1972, plying his master's degree in psychology to shape a more effective and humane system. His early work at the institution level in Missouri, when there were 3,900 inmates and 15,000 parolees, informed his later leadership as the director of that state's system of 21 prisons, 33,000 incarcerated offenders, and 60,000 people under community supervision. He also served as a juvenile justice consultant in Washington, DC, and San Francisco. He also holds a B.S. and M.S. Psychology - University of Central MissouriThis rich career has inspired Lombardi to share his message of hope for a future in which fewer people are trapped in the cradle-to-prison pipeline, more offenders are adequately prepared for re-entry into society, and there is a better understanding of how justice is restored.Learn more about these Programs here:https://doc.mo.gov/programs/puppies-parolehttps://www.prisonperformingarts.org/https://laughingbearbakery.org/Learn more about your host, Nelia Hutt at https://neliahutt.comhttps://www.travellivegive.com.

Will it mean a fifth wave for Canada?  It was discovered in a neighbourhood in South Africa. It was hitting younger people in the largely unvaccinated area. What concerned the epidemiologists was the ability of the virus to spread quickly and to evade protection. How this will impact us, if at all, is yet to be seen, but the federal government was quick to close the border to people from a number of African nations.  Our Unpublished.vote question asks:  Will the Omicron variant lead to a fifth wave of the pandemic in Canada?  YesNoUnsure  You can log on and vote right now at Unpublished.vote.  Guests: Raywat Deonandan, Epidemiologist and Assistant Professor, University of OttawaSteve Joordens, Professor of Psychology University of Toronto, Scarborough David Coletto, CEO Abacus Data Dan Kelly, Canadian Federation of Independent

Panic is far from being the typical reaction to disaster. Dr. Perrodin explains 8 findings about disaster response that doesn't fit the typical narrative. For example, contagion behavior is simply copying the behavior of others and often leads to a suboptimal outcome - so stop and recognize ALL options! He describes that crowd violence is seldom random and what "freezing" really means. ANECDOTES: Dr. Perrodin shares entertaining anecdotes of tacky Christmas inflatables, his reasons for migrating to PodBean, tinkering with his new ZoomH4Npro, why virtual reality fieldtrips in schools will be all the rage and vulnerable to delivering political or social agendas and further painting formative years reconnaissance as being dangerous (this is spurious logic) and how singularity will save at least 30,000 lives in the US annually in just 25 years by decreasing vehicle fatalities by 90%. David also shares a lesser known life story of GM / Frigidaire founder William Durant, his fiscal, psychological and health collapses, and how his final years were spent flipping burgers at a bowling alley in Michigan. To inform this episode, Dr. Perrodin explores “The mass psychology of disasters and emergency evacuations: A research report and implications for practice (2007)” by Dr. John Drury & Dr. Chris Cocking - Department of Psychology - University of Sussex. COMMUNICATION IN A DISASTER MAKES OR BREAKS THOSE IN AUTHORITY. Downplaying the importance of meaningful communication with the (irrational) crowd may develop a distrust of the authorities. In turn, this may mean valid information may be ignored or not acted upon by the public in the future. PEOPLE EXIT WHERE THEY ENTERED. People tend to seek to exit the same way they entered - even when a marked exit might be closer - it is not a familiar or intended route. Due to most people having rusty situational awareness, they often do not recognize the emergency and act quickly enough. It's easier, but not smarter, to simply be led (follow). WHAT REALLY IS “FREEZING”? Freezing during a disaster takes two forms: (1) Literally not acting – freezing, and (2) Becoming disassociated or psychologically distanced from the reality of what is happening and waste time inappropriately tidying desks, organizing areas, waiting to power down computers. This is basically a defense mechanism of expecting life to return to the expected torus, or what is normal. It is a failure to acknowledge a state of chaos – and chaos actually presents options to those that accept that the disruption of the torus. CONTAGION BEHAVIOR – NEVER JUST GO WITH THE CROWD. Contagion behavior is simply copying the behavior of others. If you looked were in a crowd and people suddenly began to run in a direction, with a sense of panic, most would follow - yet not knowing the cause or without evaluating options.  One person who appears to present with confidence and be informed can lead others to a suboptimal outcome that they would have never selected without infected by the contagion. LESS THAN 1% OF PEOPLE PANIC. Panic is far from being the typical reaction to a disaster. In fact, it has been noted in .8% of cases including the atomic bombing of Japan in 1945 and the September 11, 2001 WTC attacks. Dr. Perrodin illuminated 3 flaws in “The Panic Model”. FOLLOW DR.

This week on Smart People Podcast we are helping you get lucky... wait a second. Richard Wiseman bring us a groundbreaking new scientific study of the phenomenon of luck and the ways we can bring good luck into our lives. What is luck? A psychic gift or a question of intelligence? And what is it that lucky people have that unlucky people lack? Psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman put luck under a scientific microscope for the very first time in his book, The Luck Factor: Changing your Luck, Changing your Life, The Four Essential Principals , examining the different ways in which lucky and unlucky people think and behave. After three years of intensive interviews and experiments with over 400 volunteers, Wiseman arrived at an astonishing conclusion: Luck is something that can be learned. It is available to anyone willing to pay attention to the Four Essential Principles: Creating Chance Opportunities Thinking Lucky Feeling Lucky Denying Fate This and other topics covered in our interview this week with Richard.  Richard Wiseman began his working life as a professional magician and currently holds Britain’s only Professorship in the Public Understanding of Psychology (University of Hertfordshire).  He researches the psychology of luck, change, perception and deception, and his work has been published in leading academic journals. Richard has written several bestselling books (including The Luck Factor, Quirkology, and 59 Seconds) and has delivered keynote addresses to organisations across the world (including The Swiss Economic Forum, Google and Amazon). He was listed in the Independent On Sunday’s top 100 people who make Britain a better place to live, and has acted as a creative consultant to Derren Brown, The MythBusters, and Heston Blumenthal. Richard is the most followed British psychologist on Twitter, his YouTube channel has received over 300 million views, and one Scientific American columnist described him as  ‘….the most interesting and innovative experimental psychologist in the world today’. "The concept of luck is very straightforward.  Some people notice opportunities and others don't." - Richard Wiseman Quotes from Richard Wiseman:  What we learn in this episode: What is the best way to brainstorm? How do you increase your luck? Do lucky people know if and why they are lucky? Resources: The Luck Factor https://www.youtube.com/user/Quirkology http://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/

Does Santa Exist? A Philosophical Investigation (Dutton Books) A humorous philosophical investigation into the existence of Santa--from a co-executive producer of "The Big Bang Theory," the #1 sitcom on television. Metaphysics isn't ordinarily much of a laughing matter. But in the hands of acclaimed comedy writer and scholarEric Kaplan, a search for the truth about old St. Nick becomes a deeply insightful, laugh-out-loud discussion of the way some things exist but may not really be there. Just like Santa and his reindeer. Even after we outgrow the jolly fellow, the essential paradox persists: There are some things we dearly believe in that are not universally acknowledged as real. In Does Santa Exist? Kaplan shows how philosophy giants Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein strove to smooth over this uncomfortable meeting of the real and unreal--and failed. From there he turns to mysticism's attempts to resolve such paradoxes, surveying Buddhism, Taoism, early Christianity, Theosophy, and even the philosophers at UC Berkeley under whom he studied. Finally, this brilliant comic writer alights on--surprise--comedy as the ultimate resolution of the fundamental paradoxes of life, using examples from "The Big Bang Theory," Monty Python's cheese shop sketch, and many other pop-culture sources. Finally Kaplan delves deeper into what this means, from how our physical brains work to his own personal confrontations with life's biggest questions: If we're all going to die, what's the point of anything? What is a perfect moment? What can you say about God? Or Santa? Praise for Does Santa Exist? "Eric Kaplan's Does Santa Exist? is the funniest book of philosophy since...well, ever."--Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama "and author of "Life in Hell" "If you can put this book down, you should see a doctor. Kaplan's message burrows into the mind, beats up a few beliefs and then leaves with a triumphant bang."--Michael Gazzaniga, Professor of Psychology University of California Santa Barbara, Director of the SAGE Center for the Study of the Mind, and Founder of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society "Exceptionally interesting, rigorous and I found it not only weirdly funny but deeply moving."--Hubert Dreyfus, Professor of Philosophy, University of California Berkeley, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences "This is truly a book that I wish I had written. Eric brings great clarity of thought to some of the deepest questions of the mind and our understanding of the world. And he's really funny." --Daniel Levitin, New York Times Bestselling author of This is Your Brain on Music, Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience at McGill University, Dean of Arts and Humanities, Minerva Schools at KGI "Eric Kaplan is more than a talented comedy writer. He is a deep soul, an intellectual master, and a brilliant communicator of the subtleties of the intersections between faith and logic. He will have you laughing, thinking harder than you've ever thought, and falling in love with the process of intellectual exploration all over again. A masterpiece."--Mayim Bialik, PhD (neuroscience, UCLA), actress known for her roles as Blossom Russo in "Blossom" and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler in "The Big Bang Theory" Eric Kaplan is a co-executive producer of (and writer for) the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. Previously he wrote for The Late Show with David Letterman, Futurama, and Flight of the Concords. Kaplan graduated from Harvard and is currently completing his dissertation in philosophy at UC Berkeley.

(Broadcast January 26, 2006) How does the attention we pay to the specific moment of eating affect the attention we pay to purchasing food?

Guests Victoria Stanton - Montreal-based performance artist producing solo and collaborative creative work since 1992.
